It was exposed at length that many of the so-called "Free Syrian Army's"
fighters were in fact foreign terrorists imported into Syria via
long-established Al Qaeda networks used to feed fighters first into
Afghanistan during the 1980's, then into Afghanistan and Iraq during
America's occupation of both nations over the past decade.

The documented details of this network were exposed in
the extensive academic efforts of the US Army's own West Point Combating
Terrorism Center (CTC). Two reports were published between 2007 and
2008 revealing a global network of Al Qaeda affiliated terror
organizations, and how they mobilized to send a large influx of foreign
fighters into Iraq.

Al Qaeda's Al Nusra front has established itself on Syria's battlefields
allegedly because of its martial prowess, in contrast to the bumbling
"moderates" allegedly trained by US special forces. How is it possible
that the West, along with their regional partners, including Saudi
Arabia and Qatar, are arming, funding, and admittedly training armies of
"moderates," and yet Al Qaeda has still managed to prevail? Who is
arming, funding, and training them? The answer is simple - there were
never any meaningful "moderates" despite ham-handed attempts by the Western media to insist otherwise, and the West is intentionally assisting Al Qaeda, just as was planned in 2007.

Hundreds of al-Qaeda recruits are being kept in safe houses in
southern Turkey, before being smuggled over the border to wage "jihad"
in Syria.

The network of hideouts is enabling a steady flow of foreign
fighters - including Britons and Australians - to join the country's
civil war, according to some of the operatives involved in the process.
